Sling Media - 0% Detection Rate *

Did you just stumble upon a download or a file on your computer that has a digital signature from Sling Media? If so, please read on.

You'll typically notice Sling Media when double-clicking to run the file. The publisher name is then displayed as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screenshot shows:
